A hammer is used to hit a nail into a block of wood. The hammer hits the nail with a speed of 8.0 m/s and then stops. The hammer

is in contact with the nail for 0.0015 s.,hammer has mass 0.15 kg.Calculate the average force between the hammer and the nail.

800 Newtons

Explanation

The average force is the force exerted by a body moving at a defined rate of speed (velocity) for a defined period of time.

the average force is given by:

F=ma

and

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

\begin{gathered} F_{average}=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \\ where\text{ m is the mass of the objectt} \\ \Delta v\text{ is the change in velocity} \\ \Delta t=\text{ time} \end{gathered}

Step 1

a) Let

\begin{gathered} m=0.0015\text{ kg} \\ \Delta v=0.0015s \\ \Delta v=8\text{ }\frac{m}{s} \end{gathered}

now, replace

\begin{gathered} F=0.15\text{ kg}\frac{0-8\frac{m}{s}}{0.0015\text{ s}} \\ F=-800\text{ N} \end{gathered}

the negative sign indicates the force is in the opposite way ( the force is exerted by the nail to the hammer), so the force is opposite to the direction of the movement

so, the answer is

800 Newtons

I hope this helps you

A car with a total mass of 1800 kg (including passengers) is driving down a washboard road with bumps spaced 4.9 m apart. The ri
Drupady [299]

Answer:

k = 9.6 x 10^5 N/m or 9.6 kN/m

Explanation:

First, we need to use the expression to calculate the spring constant which is:

w² = k/m

Solving for k:

k = w²*m

To get the angular velocity:

w = 2πf

The problem is giving the linear velocity of the car which is 5.7 m/s. With this we can calculate the frequency of the car:

f = V/x

f = 5.7 / 4.9 = 1.16 Hz

Now the angular velocity:

w = 2π*1.16

w = 7.29 rad/s

Finally, solving for k:

k = (7.29)² * 1800

k = 95,659.38 N/m

In two significant figures it'll ve 9.6 kN/m

a pendulum, 2.0 m in length, is released with a push when the string is at an angle of 25 o from the vertical. if the initial sp
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

1 / 2 m v^2 = L m g (1 - cos θ)

This is the KE due to the pendulum falling from a 25 deg displacement

v^2 = 2 L g (1 - cos 25) = 2 * 2 * 9.8 (1 - .906) = 3.67 m^2/s^2

v = 1.92 m/s      this is the speed due to an initial displacement of 25 deg

Its speed at the bottom would then be

1.92 + 1.2 = 3.12 m/s   since it gains 1.92 m/s from its initial displacement

When connecting a step down transformer what does the h1 symbol denote?
densk [106]

Answer: Primary coil

A Step-down transformer is an electrical device which is used to decrease the voltage using magnetic induction. The windings of the primary coil are more than the windings of the secondary coils. h1, h2 notations are used to refer to primary coils. On the other hand, x1, x2 notations are used to refer to the secondary coils of the transformer. In case of step-up transformer, the windings of primary coil are less than the secondary in order to increase the voltage.
